Getting less events

Hi,

I guess that they are no mistake.
Delphes applied cuts due to the acceptance of the Dectetor (acceptance, threshold, isolation,..)
which explains that you do not see all the events generated in previous steps.
Now I'm not an expert (no even a frequent user) of Delphes and you might want to contact them if you want more precise information.

Cheers,

Olivier

PS: Obviously for such type of collision, you need to use the appropriate parametrization of the Detector and in particular not use the default card which are targetting on LHC type of detector.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks a lot for the quick response. Okay, then this is related to the isolation cut which is being used at the Delphes detector card.
If I demand one electron then I get around 50k events. I think now I understand.

Thanks and best regards,
